I still have a hard time feeling bad for Andrea. I think her kidnapping will add a new twist to the story. I'm hoping there's no brutal torture involved though. I don't want the show to get all dark and uncomfortable. The scenes with Maggie and the Governor were enough.

I guess I misjudged Tyreese. I thought he'd have a good head on his shoulders and recognize bullshiitake when he heard it. Apparently I was wrong.

I feel like maybe Tyrese recognizes the bullshiitake and also recognizes that something forked up with happen if they try get away or rebel, so maybe he's got secret plans for getting the eff outta there?

Omg I just watched. I've been waiting to see if something would happen that I couldn't handle and I'd have to stop watching. Andrea torture might be it. I've read the whole comic series so far, and there were a couple times I almost had to stop. That being said, I thought the episode was great. And glad that Milton seems to be less of a worm. I always think geeks are hawt but he's been such a spineless creeper.

Good episode! Boyfriend was perched precariously on the edge of our couch in suspense through the whole thing.

Andrea was so forked as soon as she started smiling and waving at the prison. She may has well have declared herself one day away from retirement- it's never going to end well!

Also I think Tyrese will come good in the last episode in the midst of some battle scene or something. And then that other guy from his group will die and be all 'oh noooo, I was wrong, good thing none of you are invested in me as a character' as he dies.

I wonder if he got bit. Just the way he seemed to be holding his coat closed in the final scenes, like he was hiding an injury. If he has been bit, he knows he's toast, and he'll be all the more hell-bent on total destruction, with nothing at all to lose. Go out in a blaze of crazy.

Milton, for crying out loud, you need to get the hell out of Dodge. Things do not look real good for the guy. I don't think he should bother making any long term plans.

He may be instrumental in rescuing Andrea, though. Perhaps with help from Tyrese and Sasha.

I hope Sasha lives through the finale. I wouldn't put any money on it, but I'd like to see her character developed.

I'm hoping character development (and pacing, and plotting) will improve with the new showrunner. They should never have gotten rid of Darabont. I'm fairly hopeful that Scott Gimple will be an improvement. He wrote the episode Clear (where Rick, Carl, and Michonne meet Morgan) and Pretty Much Dead Already (the episode where Sophia comes out of the barn). Two of the best episodes of the series. He also wrote next week's episode, so I'm looking forward to that, even though ... GAAAAAAH!

Aaaack! I didn't think an episode withonly andrea and the gov could be good, but ack! So tense. Milton is such a b ad liar! Once andrea pointed the gun at him in the beginning I sorta instantly liked her again.

And how the hell did the Governor manage to fend off 15 walkers in an enclosed space? And why did she not take his truck? God damn it, Andrea!

Exactly.

I know were are discussion a show with walking dead people, but it really spoils things for me when the writers have someone make an unrealistic escape. Geeeze, the Governor was left, cornered, in a confined space, with a pack of zombies closing in on him while Andrea was running away.

Not only did he miraculously fend the zombies off, but he did so quickly enough to catch up with Andrea enough to follow her and stalk her. Then he managed to get her away from the prison, back to Woodbury and into his dungeon all without anyone noticing.

I wonder if he got bit. Just the way he seemed to be holding his coat closed in the final scenes, like he was hiding an injury. If he has been bit, he knows he's toast, and he'll be all the more hell-bent on total destruction, with nothing at all to lose. Go out in a blaze of crazy.

i was wondering that, too!

yeah, i thought of this, too. and then i added "learn to hotwire" to my zombapocalypse to-do list, right after "get good at running" and "develop hand-eye coordination."

oh! right! keys. i forgot about keys. i was also yelling at her for not grabbing the truck, but not having the key makes a whole lot of sense.

I totally I wondered about the truck thing. Maybe she just wanted to bolt. At the very least, she should have lit that thing on fire.

As soon as Andrea lifted her hand, I said "what horrible thing is going to happen now?" Then the Governor jumped her and I screamed. I can't wait until that creepy fork gets his due. Unlike some truly great TV baddies, he's not even fun to watch, especially after the whole Maggie debacle. I have never been as sympathetic for Andrea as I now am after this episode. It was getting hard to watch, and I don't think it'll get any easier for her anytime soon.

Ditto that Milton needs to get the fork outta dodge.

Pyewacket, if that's not what happened, that's what SHOULD have happened. That is a really good twist. LOL.

I don't know if they'll go that way at all, but dang it is an interesting idea. I like how it would parallel the way Philip has psychologically lost his humanity and turned into a monster with literally losing his humanity and turning into a monster. And where he holds Michonne responsible for taking so much away from him, Andrea would be responsible for taking everything else.

I also like the parallel in Milton's predicament. The reason he's in so much danger now is because he believes there's something of the old Philip he used to know still present in the Governor, in the same way that he believes there is something of the person still present in the walker. That's a potentially fatal misreading of the situation.

Also, when Andrea almost reaches the prison, Rick is the one keeping watch. Really? Here's a protip for surviving the zombie apocalypse: Don't put the guy who occassionally hallucinates on watch. "HEADS UP, EVERYONE! Here comes Shane! With an army of Oompa Loompas! They're riding unicorns and playing piccolos!"
